Avoid Rebound: This can occur with repeated, as-needed dosing of your meds and worsens with time.. If your headaches have not been evaluated or are worsening you need medical evaluation. You probably need surpressive medications which can reduce how often and how severe your headaches become. See your doc to get started.
